Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Text In Church API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftextinchurch.com%2Ftextinchurch" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftextinchurch.com%2Ftextinchurch" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Text In Church API.
Get account details
Create or update account metadata
Delete account metadata
Query and filter Text In Church API records by parameters
Monitor Text In Church API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Text In Church API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Text In Church API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 46 endpoints covering core functionality including get account details, create or update account metadata, get account metadata.
Call GET /account.php to get account details
Automated Account Management
Automate account operations by combining multiple Text In Church API endpoints. Agents can create or update account metadata and then get account metadata in a single workflow.
Call POST /accountMeta.php to create or update account metadata, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Text In Church API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get account details', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Text In Church by hand means learning its bearer auth against api.textinchurch.com and threading the token through every contact and account request yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Text In Church from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Text In Church addresses contacts and account records through operations on endpoints like /contact.php and /accountMeta.php, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as reading account details or adding a contact. You choose that set, so destructive operations like deleting a contact are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Text In Church token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get account details' or 'add a contact', and Jentic returns the matching Text In Church operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Text In Church API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Text In Church API use?
The Text In Church API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get account details with the Text In Church API?
Yes. Use the GET /account.php endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Text In Church API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I get account details through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get account details'. Jentic returns the matching Text In Church API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Text In Church API have?
The Text In Church API exposes 46 endpoints covering account, contacts, messages operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Text In Church API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which Text In Church operations your agent can call, and your own rules govern which credentials it uses. You can allow read-only calls such as getting account details from GET /account.php or reading contacts, while withholding writes to /accountMeta.php or /contact.php. Destructive operations like deleting a contact stay off limits unless you explicitly add them to the agent's allowed set.
For Agents
Programmatically get account details, create or update account metadata. Covers 46 operations with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to account details, I want to or update account metadata, Search for account metadata, Find all account metadata
